Hello everyone, my name is Bruno I live in Eastern PA. I joined this site because like all of you I have an interst in working with metals. My metalworking so far has been mostly with machining projects (lathe and mill) and projects from structural pieces like tube steel and plate. My sheetmetal experience comes from restoring a 1955 Chevy. That involved repairing rusted areas with replacement panels, no hand shaped pieces. I did make a new A/C plenum box and an underdash gauge pod using some hammerforms. My sheetmetal forming experience is very limited.
I have a 32"x48' shop that I use for all my work. I have a nice tool collection that I found mostly at auctions over the years and it includes the following.
Jet 13x40 lathe
Bridgeport mill
Drill press
7x12 horizontal bandsaw
14" Powermatic vertical bandsaw
Delta 6" belt and 12" disc sander
16" disc sander
Bench grinders
20 ton shop press
Mig and Tig welders
Blast cabinet
Pexto 36" jump shear
Diacro 24" finger brake
You can see my shop and some of my work at

Thanks for letting me be a part of this great site, see you in the forums.
